My partners company just opened a factory in Mexico. They are closing thier PA factory and laying off 180 workers.. I see this all over. Now this is happening with white collar jobs. I know that our economy is global but what are your front line observations about the true state of the american workforce and prospects for the future.

I'm a fifteen year old Texan who is in desperate need of a job. A /real/ job. Baby sitting, mowing lawns, ect. are not options for me.

Due to my family's financial situation [and the fact that I'd like to some day go to college] I need to become employed ASAP. I consider myself to be intelligent and competent, but most places require you be at least sixteen to work at their company.

So!
Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any employers of fifteen year olds? Internet-related things are also fine, so long as they are not a scam or advert type of thing.

Also, NO FAST FOOD!
I am a strong vegetarian and refuse to work at McDonalds or Wendy's!

Thanks!

Just curious. Selling pools looks like fun, but how much will you make when you move to manager. IS this a good long term career?

I am with a model school/agency called John Casablancas. I have a three year contract with them and I dont know if the contract is only about the school or about getting jobs with them. Because I know when I joined the person told me after 3 years my contract would end and i could no longer take classes there. I really want to join another agency and I'm wondering if I can do this now or if I have to wait until my contract expires...has anybody experienced this or just know what i'm talking about and what i can do?

I have printed all the GMA sites that they guarantee that all are legit business opportunities and most I have found are AGAIN, just scam! I also went to HomeJobStop(which is the best organized) but again so many are just scams, you waste your time to get no pay! I did sign up for on-line juror.com and have received two questionnaires that I participated in and was paid $175 for each. That was really interesting and pd.well but not many in my county so I can't really make a living on them. Everyone has a scam going it seems and so many want you to visit their websites so they can get referral and again, most lead no where! I am very disappointed that Tory Johnson from Good Morning America has made a reputation on the guru of solid based home jobs that anyone can do, but again, I have done much research and find that she mainly wants you to sign up for hourly consultation or buy one of many of her books! I have found zero on her website that have been useful. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am so fed up with jobs that do not pay me what I am worth! I go in as the low man cause that is how I can get hired, as soon as the company knows all my skills they take advantage of them and give me a small raise but require many of my skills to be put to work, is there a better place to use these? I am mechanically inclined, I weld, I am a wiz at electrical, I can operate heavy equipment, I am a terrific problem solver, I am an awsome designer, I even do video editing and photography! I am a jack of all trades, the only thing missing is certifications in any of them. I want to start my own buisness but I am not sure what services I could offer or the cost to offer them at. any ideas? whats the best way to start?

I've worked at my company for 7 and half months already.I love my job as a purchaser even tho it is stressful and I must follow the datelines.The downside is that my boss is racist towards me,my supervisor is so uncouth(she would shout or burp loudly even when there is a supplier/customer),my colleagues think I m incompetent and they treat me like I m not there.If u were in my place what would u do?
Tolerate them or quit?
I want to further my studies but not now.

...due to an ice storm that closed many counties down (i, and many others, have been w/o power for over a week), my employer told employees not to come to work, then sent an email saying we must take leave or make up the time. i live in missour and know nothing about employment law, but i'm having trouble believing this is legal.
